HOWL

Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" is very different compared to all the poems I've read before. Most poems are short and somewhat simple, however this one is about as long as a typical essay and filled with enough information to keep the reader busy for days trying to analyze every aspect. Another thing that makes this poem so random is that it is cut into three different parts, three different views basically, yet all based along the idea of drugs and how it can affect any person. How a person can go crazy, see things that aren't really there, the details of what kind of high is experienced and how its so "out of this world". I find that even though this poem may be extremely long and might not make much sense at times, it can still get a person's mind going about seeing this situations and also living them.
